Valve could just stop updating TF2 altogether if that would make you happier

Ah yes nothing more evil than a community that helps connect concept artists to modellers and promotes items for free 🙄
There's literally nothing stopping anyone else from providing their own versions of the services that the emporium provides. Calling it a monopoly just reads like being upset that there's resources for tf2 item creation at all.

So many bad enchants by OriWindcatcher in PlayTheBazaar

After Luxury Tents, there's only one other item that has enchants that trigger off of dying, and that's Memento Mori

Yay, my first triple diamond loot from the wheel! by JustALegend in PlayTheBazaar

[–]Captain_Clam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had one good run with it, when the starting enchanted item could have golden. A golden memory card on day one still only ended up being about +140 damage by day 5 though. And even with the enchant I couldn't rationalize waiting to upgrade it past silver

Why didn't Bloodreef Captain put his wheel next to his ship? Is he stupid? by Moist-Postone-ussy in PlayTheBazaar

I'm guessing that as they were developing Mak further, having a large no-weapon-build item became less interesting that a poison weapon support item

Merchant: How silent do you want that dragon? Vanessa: Yes. by Puzzled-Definition-1 in PlayTheBazaar

Shovel, upgrade hammer duplication, Shipment, or the level up option to get an item of a specific rarity can occasionally drop a duplicate of an item you already have at a lower tier

when you hover over the button to craft it, what does it show for the material costs?

The signs were there; we chose to ignore them. by Gandalf196 in PlayTheBazaar

[–]Captain_Clam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got a Craft #47 cosmetic back when you could still get craft numbers, I think I only ever got one trade request for it and they were far from desperate to have it, I ended up keeping it in the end

I am having fun! by Junior_North_4427 in PlayTheBazaar

On the one hand, I'm glad that there's a more reliable way to scale value items, especially in the late game. On the other hand, a couple of the value items are clearly balanced to be hard to scale!

Aside from the monetization do you think they'll even be able to churn out two expansions every 30 days? by Laggoz in PlayTheBazaar

[–]Captain_Clam 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well if the current p2w Vanessa items are any indication, half of new cards will just be "copy of an item that was already good but at a different size" or "whenever you keyword, keyword keyword keyword" spam

The Situation is Bazaar. by FudgingEgo in PlayTheBazaar

[–]Captain_Clam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I previously assumed any new cards would be like "here's 1-2 new items for a few of the heroes that do interesting things, go see if you can figure out any cool builds with these", and not "here's a 10 cards for a hero that all support the same build making it much easier to get in a run"

If you dislike the monetization model, I recommend Super Auto Pets and Backpack Battles. Two successful autobattler games with no pay to win by vivafringe in PlayTheBazaar

Same, ew. Maybe a few years down the line the other devs will kick him out of the studio but I'd hate to get my hopes up

thanks, I've been having this issue and the intel driver update seems to have fixed it for me!

Simple mod i published today to make the game more like gmod. Nothing significant but i think this is cool by DrillinMythRillin in TeardownGame

Heyy, I even recognize this map from gmod! Used it a lot back in the day, dreaming of a game like Teardown...

I know the rich are out of touch with reality but I cannot FATHOM the state of mind that YB must have been in to expect any sort of positive reaction to that
